Introduction & Comment policy

Hello! There now follow some handy hints on how to make the most of your Reading My Blog experience:

If you don't like my colour scheme (I am aware that many people don't) add "?style=light" to the end of any url to get a different version, or "?style=mine" if you have a dreamwidth account. For an explanation of why I have it like this, see here

Anonymous commenting is enabled, although anon comments are screened before publication; please, if you comment anonymously, give yourself a name/pseudonym/some form of identifier. If you don't your comment will not be unscreened.

I don't censor comments from people I know unless pushed VERY hard. Red lines include racism, misogyny, homophobia, unjoking advocation of violence, and being horrible about (or to) people I love. Anons tend to get a lot less leeway and a lot less benefit of the doubt; sorry. My blog, my rules.

If you want to point out cock-ups I have made, please direct them to Pedants' Corner; likewise if you want to ask me something off the topic of the post please go to this entry - this saves readers' scrolling fingers.

Hello! Surfed onto you via Google, thought you were a very interesting read. Hadn't heard of Dreamwidth before then, found out more and decided this is exactly the type of venture I like to support. So I'll be bringing my LJ over as soon as DW opens up to imports again - in the meantime you can see my archives at
